Brocante de Porticcio

The Thursday flea market in Porticcio, seaside resort on the South Bank

Every Thursday during the season, the Porticcio esplanade comes alive with a flea market that brings together exhibitors, artisans, and bargain hunters in this emblematic seaside resort in the Gulf of Ajaccio. The weekly flea market is part of the summer entertainment program for the municipality of Grosseto-Prugna, offering vacationers and residents a friendly outdoor event.

The stalls feature antique objects, handmade jewelry, clothing, Corsican creations, and second-hand items in a relaxed atmosphere typical of seaside resort markets. The setting—a short walk from the fine sandy beaches and facing the Gulf of Ajaccio—contributes to the appeal of this weekly event, which naturally fits into vacationers' days.

Porticcio, the seaside resort on the South Bank

Porticcio is the main seaside resort of the municipality of Grosseto-Prugna, located on the south bank of the Gulf of Ajaccio, about fifteen kilometers from the prefecture of Corse-du-Sud. Easily accessible by road or by sea shuttle from Ajaccio, Porticcio offers a lively seafront, renowned white sandy beaches, numerous shops, restaurants, and hotels.

In summer, the resort attracts tourists from all over France and abroad. The weekly Thursday flea market is one of the regular events that punctuate the life of the resort during the high season, alongside the traditional market held on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday mornings on the same esplanade.

A market by the sea

The Porticcio esplanade, near the Tourist Office, is the nerve center of the resort. This is where the municipality's markets and events are held. The Thursday flea market offers a selection of various items in a unique summer atmosphere, between turquoise sea and fragrant maquis. For visitors looking for an original souvenir or an unusual item to bring back from Corsica, this is an opportunity not to be missed during their stay on the South Bank.
